It has been reported that if trying to download maps using a wireless connection, time takes longer, files tend to get corrupt and errors creep in.

So, just a thought ....... when dl a map, try using a directly connected modem or router.

Just a thought .......

A good Saturday morning to you all!
Good news, like others have seen, my error 203 has disappeared and I am in the process of downloading the maps this morning.
Of course it wasn't easy - firstly Mastercard Securecode made me enrol Mad

and then my Windows XP updates automatically restarted my computer 3/4 of the way through the download.
Anyway, nearly there and looking forward to using the new map.

Purchased a 920T 2 days ago from Amazon.

Yet, the Map: version v710.1576 is reportedly three quarters old and the 'latest map guarantee' says that my map is the latest - no update available?

As Home 2.4 quotes £38.85 for the initial map update - can anyone advise on the easiest way of claiming my free map guarantee update? I'm happy with the quarterly fees thereafter.

Thanks chaps.

On Monday morning give TT Support a ring on 0845 161 0009 and explain the problem, you should get the latest map free as long as you purchased the device in the last 4 weeks - they will probably want proof of this sending to them so get your receipt scanned in ready to send, unless you have it in electronic format already - Mike

I'll do as you advise Mike, thanks.

I would try updating v7 to 8.01 as suggested by turbo - but via Home 2.4 - there is no link to this free later map upgrade that you mention. Is this update available from somewhere else? Do others advise doing this first-if possible somehow?

I think there is a little confusion here between map version numbers and software version numbers.

1/ Make sure your device is running the Application version 8,010 you can check this by tapping the sat strength meter lower right corner of the screen - if this isn't 8,010 connect the unit to Home and let it update your application to 8,010 (this is free).

2/ Once you have application 8,010 installed connect it to TomTom Home and it should then let you have the v810 map for free as part of the latest map guarantee certificate that came with the device - Mike

Hi Mike,

The App version is 8.010 but the Map v710.1576.

The latest map guarantee under tools only allows an automated check, no inputs possible - and so the code that came with the TomTom is impossible to enter - it REPORTS that my map is the latest, even though it isn't so, .... I will ring them monday unless there is another suggestion.

Thanks all.

Has anybody got the mapshare updates for the 8.10 uk map. When I log in I get 0 mapshare updates available even though I went through the procedure mentioned earlier and reset to factory settings and deleted all map share details. Still when I log in it tells me there is 0 map share updates. I have the settings on medium. Does anybody else have any further help. Thanks.
